Marc, that is a beautiful car. I am also very impressed by the photography. You get a gold star on both counts.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Here's a photo I grabbed at lunchtime.
Bigger and Flickr:http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcography/3020250080/
Loving my new Rotas and Toyo Proxes T1Rs which are mega grippy so far. I smoothed in my front lip to the bumper too. My CF bonnet needs pins to even the front out. I also passed annual inspection /MOT first time Let the good times roll...
Next is finish wiring megasquirt and possibly move over my supra style spoiler, I miss it...
How did you get the photo like this?
I'm way into take photo's, and I'd love to get some pics of the wife and kids in the place of your car. I think it would be a great photo. Would I have to have a really good camera? I'm sporting a small,sleek,light pink,7.2 megapixel,casio exilm. Shouls I download something to start making my shots look real good??? sorry to get off topic.

Re: Marco's '95 GS KLZE - Black Beast
NP, just I'm not sure if your camera would have the capability as you usually need as Digital SLR but here goes:
-That photo is made of 3 photos overlaid, it's called HDR (high dynamic range)
-You take 3 photos at different exposures (one under, one right, one over - 2 exposure values apart)
-You download Photomatix (It's amazing for HDR)
-You generate HDR
-Then edit tone curve
-Be amazed
Check out my photography guide http://www.pictorio.us
Goto techniques then HDR

Come to Alberta and I'll take you into British Columbia. The Canadian Rockies will alter your perception of reality. The American Rockies are puny by comparison.marcdh wrote:Too kind good sir HDR photography is so flattering to cars Wish I could drive over to USA for an epic road trip in it!
